15 Beers Brewed for the Beach

So many craft breweries carry a reputation for being big, bold, and boozy. But increasingly, small, innovative breweries are also aiming squarely at more accessible beers that are crisp, drinkable, and even low-calorie – just right to take to the ballpark or to drink by the ocean. For a relaxing afternoon on the sand, choose sessionable beers with less than 5 percent ABV, says Doug Odell, owner and co-founder of Odell Brewing Company. "You want to be able to have a few without falling asleep in the sun," he says.
